In Cleveland, hope dies last

The Browns need to worry about the Browns

The hiring’s impact rippled all the way to Cleveland, where Browns fans were as bipolar as always with reactions ranging from betrayal that Kelly chose the Eagles over the hometown Browns, to anger at Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner for not being able to “seal the deal” with the skittish Kelly.

The reality, however, is that the Kelly hiring should have absolutely no impact on the Browns – just because the Eagles sneezed doesn’t mean the Browns have to catch the flu.
